Problem summary

Your LOGIK LFTC freestanding electric cooker is running but the oven is not reaching temperature, or blowing out cold air instead of heat. This is a common fault pattern we see on this model range, and it almost always points to an electrical or mechanical component that requires professional diagnosis.

Likely causes

Based on 58 similar repair records, the most common causes are:

Heating element failure (63.8% of cases)
The main heating element (usually at the top or bottom of the oven cavity) may have burned out or developed an open circuit. When this happens, power reaches the thermostat but no heat is produced. A cold-air symptom can occur if a cooling fan is still running after the element fails.

Cooling fan malfunction (24.1% of cases)
Some models in the LFTC range use a fan to circulate air and manage temperature. If the fan thermostat or the fan motor fails, it may run continuously, blowing out cold air even when the heating element should be active. This can mask a working heater or run independently.

Motor or control failure (6.9% of cases)
The fan motor or the main oven control switch may be faulty, preventing the heating circuit from engaging or causing the cooling system to override heat production.

Why this needs an engineer

All of these components are mains-voltage electrical parts integrated into a sealed or protected system. Diagnosing which part has failed requires:

Attempting to test or replace a heating element, fan, or control switch yourself risks electric shock, damage to other components, and loss of any remaining warranty cover.

When to call SMC Services

Contact a qualified engineer if:

Our engineers carry common heating elements, fan assemblies, and thermostats for models in the LFTC range and can usually diagnose the fault on the first visit. If you're in Northern Ireland, SMC Services can usually book a repair within 2–3 working days.

Step by step

  1. Safety check before calling. Ensure the cooker control is off and the mains plug or isolator switch is easily accessible. Note down any burning smells, visible damage, or unusual sounds to report to the engineer.
  2. Describe what's happening. When you book, mention whether the oven is blowing cold air, warm but not hot, or completely unresponsive. Tell us how long it's been running without reaching temperature.
  3. Locate your serial number. Your cooker's serial number is usually on a sticker inside the oven door frame or on the back of the unit. This helps our engineer confirm the exact model and prepare the right parts.
  4. Do not attempt DIY repairs. Avoid opening panels, testing wires, or removing components. Mains-voltage appliances can deliver a fatal shock even when switched off. Wait for a qualified engineer.

Frequently asked questions

Could a tripped electrics switch cause this?
It's possible, but unlikely. If a circuit breaker had tripped, the cooker would not turn on at all. Since yours is running (fan is active, controls respond), the mains supply is reaching the unit. The problem is usually within the heating or control circuit itself.
Is it safe to keep the oven off and use the hob?
Yes, provided the cooker is otherwise undamaged. Using just the hob rings will not affect the oven fault. However, do not attempt to use the oven if it's blowing hot air unexpectedly or smells like burning.
Will the heating element definitely need replacing?
Not necessarily. Although heating element failure is the most common cause, our engineer will test the element, fan, thermostat, and control switch to identify the exact fault. Sometimes a loose connection or failed thermostat can be remedied without replacing the element itself.
How long does a repair usually take?
Most heating element or fan replacements take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours on site. If parts need to be ordered, we'll confirm availability and arrange a follow-up visit. Emergency same-day call-outs may be available depending on workload.
Is this covered under manufacturer warranty?
That depends on the age of your cooker and the terms of your original purchase. We don't provide warranty advice, but our engineer will check for signs of misuse or damage when they visit and can discuss options with you.
